According to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, Guerrero was found at the Marriott City Center hotel. Police arrived on site around 7:30 a.m. Attempts were made to revive Guerrero, according to a police spokesperson.
At 12:45 pm CT, Vince McMahon and Chavo Guerrero held a press conference in Minneapolis to talk about Guerrero. The press conference is available online at WWE.com.
During the press conference, Chavo explained that he and Eddie came in from Phoenix the night before, and checked into the hotel around 12:30 a.m. He was scheduled to meet his uncle for breakfast, but got a call instead from hotel security saying that Eddie did not respond to his 7 a.m. wake-up call. Chavo went with security to Eddie's room, and found him on the floor. A call was then placed to 911.
Tonight's combined Raw and Smackdown! tapings will be a four-hour tribute to Eddie Guerrero, airing over two nights. During the press conference, Chavo Guerrero confirmed that he will air his thoughts on the show, rather than head home immediately.
Guerrero had an absolutely stellar wrestling career, marked by his ability to deliver athletically competent, emotional, and ultimately awe inspiring performances in the ring. He was the son of the late Gory Guerrero who achieved legendary status in the wrestling rings of Mexico. His older siblings, Chavo, Mando and Hector were also wrestlers. Guerrero achieved success no matter where he wrestled; EMLL, AAA, ECW, WCW and WWE.
